SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is
granting a request from the public to
hold an informal public hearing to
receive oral comments on the proposed
regulation described in the SUMMARY
above. As required by 40 CFR 750.18(a),
the hearing will begin no sooner than
seven (7) days after the close of the
comment period.
The procedures for rulemaking under
section 6 of the Toxic Substances
Control Act (TSCA) are found at 40 CFR
part 750. Specific procedures for
manufacturing (import) exemptions are
identified in 40 CFR part 750, subpart
B, and the procedures for participation
in and the conduct of informal hearings
are found at 40 CFR 750.18–750.21. The
remainder of this Federal Register
publication summarizes the procedures
and logistics for this informal hearing,
which is being held pursuant to the
regulations cited above. Participants
and/or commenters are advised to see
40 CFR part 750 for additional details.
Each person or organization desiring
to participate in the informal hearing
must file a written request to participate
with the Hearing Clerk identified above.
(Participation in this context means
providing oral comments or a
presentation at the hearing.) This
request must be received on or before
June 12, 2008. The request must
include: (1) A brief statement of the
interest of the person or organization in
the proceeding; (2) a brief outline of the
points to be addressed; (3) an estimate
of the time required; and (4) if the
request comes from an organization, a
nonbinding list of the persons to take
part in the presentation. An
organization that has not filed
comments on the rulemaking will not be
allowed to participate in the hearing,
unless a waiver of this requirement is
granted by the Hearing Clerk. Persons or
organizations requesting a waiver must
submit this request to the Hearing Clerk
at the address listed above. The Hearing
Clerk must receive the waiver request
no later than June 12, 2008.
No later than three days prior to the
hearing (June 16), the Hearing Clerk will
make a hearing schedule publicly
available on our Web site at https://
www.epa.gov/pcb/pubs/veolia.htm and
mail or deliver it to each of the persons
who requested to appear at the hearing.
We believe the most efficient and
reliable means of delivery is by
electronic mail, so we encourage all
participants to provide their e-mail
address. If correspondence through
regular mail is requested, the Hearing
Clerk will mail the hearing schedule at
least three days prior to the hearing,
although due to delivery time, we can
not be sure that the schedule will reach
the participant prior to the hearing date.
The schedule is subject to change
during the hearing.
A panel of EPA employees will be
present at the hearing, and one panel
member will act as the Hearing Officer,
who will conduct the hearing. Hearing
participants may be asked to answer
questions submitted by the audience (in
writing, at the hearing), at EPA’s
discretion (40 CFR 750.19). Participants
in the hearing may also submit
additional material for the record. EPA
will provide a verbatim transcript of the
hearing.
After the close of the hearing, any
participant in the hearing may submit
written comments and questions
concerning the factual nature of another
hearing participant’s presentation and/
or ask questions of the participants. The
submission should include information
detailed under 40 CFR 750.8(1). The
request must be provided to the Hearing
Clerk using one of the methods
identified in the ADDRESSES section for
submitting requests to participate in the
hearing. The request must be received
by EPA no later than one week after a
full transcript of the hearing is posted to
the docket. EPA estimates that within
two weeks of the hearing date, the
transcript will be posted to the docket
(around July 3, 2008). After the Hearing
Clerk compiles all of the written
questions, the Hearing Panel will review
and decide which questions will be
forwarded for the requested participants
to answer. Any participant receiving
question(s) will have one week to
provide the Hearing Clerk with an
answer.
Interested persons may file reply
comments. Reply comments must be
received no later than one week after the
close of all informal hearings, which
includes the question and answer
procedure described in the previous
paragraph. Reply comments should be
restricted to comments on: (1) Other
comments; (2) material in the hearing
record; and (3) material which was not
and could not reasonably have been
available to the commenting party a
sufficient time before comments were
due on June 5, 2008 (40 CFR 750.4, as
modified by 750.15).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DATES:
Executive Order 12866, ‘‘Regulatory
Planning and Review’’
It has been determined that 48 CFR
part 5432 is not a significant regulatory
action. The rule does not:
(1) Have an annual effect to the
economy of $100 million or more or
adversely affect in a material way the
economy; a section of the economy;
productivity; competition; jobs; the
environment; public health or safety; or
State, local, or tribal governments or
communities;
(2) Create a serious inconsistency or
otherwise interfere with an action taken
or planned by another Agency;
(3) Materially alter the budgetary
impact of entitlements, grants, user fees,
or loan programs, or the rights and
obligations of recipients thereof; or

(4) Raise novel legal or policy issues
arising out of legal mandates, the
President’s priorities, or the principles
set forth in this Executive Order.
Section 202, Public Law 104–4,
‘‘Unfunded Mandates Reform Act’’
It has been certified that this rule does
not contain a Federal mandate that may
result in the expenditure by State, local
and tribal governments, in aggregate, or
by the private sector, of $100 million or
more in any one year.
Public Law 96–354, ‘‘Regulatory
Flexibility Act’’ (5 U.S.C. 601)
It has been certified that this rule is
not subject to the Regulatory Flexibility
Act (5 U.S.C. 601) because it would not,
if promulgated, have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities.
The implementation of this rule will
facilitate the receipt documentation
process and enhance the accountability
of DLA-provided goods, as well as
provide a basis for more efficient and
expeditious payments to affected
contractors. In this process, contractors
input copies of signed delivery
documents provided by the transporter
of the supplies into the Wide Area
Workflow system. Contractor use of the
Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) system is
being implemented throughout the
Department of Defense for submission of
invoices. Approximately 1 hour is
needed to learn the new system. Use of
the WAWF system does not require any
additional reporting, recordkeeping, or
compliance records from small entities.
Therefore no additional capability or
resource expenditure will be required
and no significant impact is anticipated.
Public Law 96–511, ‘‘Paperwork
Reduction Act’’ (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35)
It has been certified that this rule does
impose reporting or recordkeeping
requirements under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is granting a request from the public to
hold an informal public hearing to receive oral comments on the
proposed regulation described in the SUMMARY above. As required by 40
CFR 750.18(a), the hearing will begin no sooner than seven (7) days
after the close of the comment period.
The procedures for rulemaking under section 6 of the Toxic
Substances Control Act (TSCA) are found at 40 CFR part 750. Specific
procedures for manufacturing (import) exemptions are identified in 40
CFR part 750, subpart B, and the procedures for participation in and
the conduct of informal hearings are found at 40 CFR 750.18-750.21. The
remainder of this Federal Register publication summarizes the
procedures and logistics for this informal hearing, which is being held
pursuant to the regulations cited above. Participants and/or commenters
are advised to see 40 CFR part 750 for additional details.
Each person or organization desiring to participate in the informal
hearing must file a written request to participate with the Hearing
Clerk identified above. (Participation in this context means providing
oral comments or a presentation at the hearing.) This request must be
received on or before June 12, 2008. The request must include: (1) A
brief statement of the interest of the person or organization in the
proceeding; (2) a brief outline of the points to be addressed; (3) an
estimate of the time required; and (4) if the request comes from an
organization, a nonbinding list of the persons to take part in the
presentation. An organization that has not filed comments on the
rulemaking will not be allowed to participate in the hearing, unless a
waiver of this requirement is granted by the Hearing Clerk. Persons or
organizations requesting a waiver must submit this request to the
Hearing Clerk at the address listed above. The Hearing Clerk must
receive the waiver request no later than June 12, 2008.
No later than three days prior to the hearing (June 16), the
Hearing Clerk will make a hearing schedule publicly available on our
Web site at https://www.epa.gov/pcb/pubs/veolia.htm and mail or deliver
it to each of the persons who requested to appear at the hearing. We
believe the most efficient and reliable means of delivery is by
electronic mail, so we encourage all participants to provide their e-
mail address. If correspondence through regular mail is requested, the
Hearing Clerk will mail the hearing schedule at least three days prior
to the hearing, although due to delivery time, we can not be sure that
the schedule will reach the participant prior to the hearing date. The
schedule is subject to change during the hearing.
A panel of EPA employees will be present at the hearing, and one
panel member will act as the Hearing Officer, who will conduct the
hearing. Hearing participants may be asked to answer questions
submitted by the audience (in writing, at the hearing), at EPA's
discretion (40 CFR 750.19). Participants in the hearing may also submit
additional material for the record. EPA will provide a verbatim
transcript of the hearing.
After the close of the hearing, any participant in the hearing may
submit written comments and questions concerning the factual nature of
